Pieces of You Cover Reveal

Summary

Claire Nixon is only twenty-one, but her heart has been shattered and put back together more times than she can count. Finding solace in meditation and a change of location, she thought she had buried her painful secret for good.

Then she met the persistent and sexy Adam Parker. Adam’s pursuit of Claire’s heart and her secret nearly destroyed them, but their love was relentless.

With no more secrets between them, Claire and Adam thought they had it all figured out. Though they knew they’d never be whole again, their love had survived the test. Until Claire’s rock star ex-boyfriend, Chris Knight, came back.

Now Chris has promised to mend the final piece of Claire’s broken heart as only he can. With Claire attending college a hundred miles away from Adam and Adam’s busy travel schedule, Chris’s offer looks more and more enticing.

Chapter 7 – Claire

“I’ve been dreaming about this all week,” I murmur
into his mouth.

His hand slides under my knees and he scoops me up
in his arms as he stands from the chair and carries me to my bed. He sets me
down gently, our lips never losing contact as I reach for the waistband of his
jeans and pull him on top of me. Right away, my body begins to tremble with my
need for him.

“Are you okay?” he whispers as he kisses my neck
and I nod hastily. “Good ‘cause I’m about to wreck you.”

He spreads my legs open and I lift my hips as he
grinds into me.

I moan softly. “Please take this off,” I beg as I
yank his shirt up.

He chuckles as he pulls his shirt over his head
and gazes down at me with that sexy smile that makes me ache for him. His body
is so perfectly smooth and muscular. I reach up and touch the tattoo on his
chest, the compass filled with waves, and he grabs my hand. He kisses the
inside of my wrist then lays my hand down at my side. His hands slide over my
belly then under my lower back. He lifts me up so my back is arched and plants
a soft kiss just above my belly button. The smile in his eyes as he looks up at
me makes my chest heave with anticipation.

His fingers whisper over my skin and I sigh as
they land on the button of my jeans. He takes his time undoing the button and I
feel body growing hungrier and more impatient by the second.

“What do you want me to do to you?” he asks as he
drags the zipper down and lays a soft kiss on abdomen.

I hate when he asks me this. I get so flustered
when I talk about this stuff.

I swallow my nerves then answer. “I want you to
make me… scream your name.”

I whisper the last three words and he laughs
softly. “You’re so fucking adorable. Do you need a joke to relax?”

He grabs the waistband of my jeans and I lift my
hips so he can slide them down, taking my panties with them. “Yes, please.”

“This one’s going to be dirty,” he says as he
tosses my jeans and panties onto the floor and kisses my hipbone. “First, take
off your shirt. I want to look at you.”

I tear off my shirt and slip out of my bra then
lie back as he sits up on his knees to look at me. It’s a testament to how
comfortable I feel with Adam that I don’t even flinch at the fact that the
lights are on. Adam has never made me feel anything other than completely
beautiful.

His eyes take in every inch of me, his gaze
skimming over ever valley and curve before landing squarely on my face. “I’ll
save the joke for later.”

He slides two fingers inside me and I close my
eyes as I hold my breath. His fingers slide in and out of me as his thumb
massages my clit.

“Oh, my God,” I breathe as I roll my hips against
the motion of his hand.

“Look at me.”

I shake my head as the pleasure builds inside me
and he laughs. “Come on, baby. I want to see your eyes.”

I open my eyes and he smiles as he slides his
fingers out of me right before I come.

“That’s not fair,” I protest.

He ignores my grumbling as he lies on top of me
and kisses me hard. I’m breathless, lost under the weight of his body and the
power of his kiss. Then he starts to move down, laying a soft trail of kisses
straight down the middle of my torso until he reaches my center.

I gasp as soon as his tongue touches me. “Adam.”
He lets out a soft grunt as a reply. “Don’t stop.” I try not to writhe away
from him as the warmth builds inside me, spreading out from my core in furious
waves. “Adam!”

“Say it louder,” he says, and the sensation of his
breath and the vibration of his voice send chills through me.

As the orgasm reverberates through my body, a cry
of euphoria explodes from my lips. “Adam!”

I hear a soft chuckle as he finishes me off with
another lick and a soft kiss. My body trembles as he kisses each of my breasts
then sits up. He takes off his jeans and I attempt to recover as he slides a
condom on.

“Sweeter than sugar,” he says, as he lies on top
of me, resting his elbows on either side of my head, and kisses me.

I rake my nails softly over his ribs and he
twitches between my legs. He kisses me slowly, taking his time, drawing out the
moment until I finally clutch fistfuls of his hair and pull his face back. I
don’t say anything. He knows what I want from the hunger in my eyes.

He eases himself into me and I wrap my legs around
his hips to coax him farther inside. I draw in a sharp breath as he hits my
core and a spark of pain ignites the fire inside me.

He watches every change in my face as he moves
rhythmically in and out of me. “Are you okay?” I nod and he kisses my forehead
then goes back to gazing into my eyes. “I love you, Claire.”

“I love you, Adam.”

He presses his lips to mine and I know, from that
one look and the way he’s kissing me so tenderly, that there’s something he’s
not telling me.
